Happy Birthday to ME!

Today I am the BIG 34! WAHHH I'm getting older, but life is getting better. Good trade off I suppose. I woke up to a million Happy Birthday text.(ok maybe not a million!) lol My son made me a cake and we our going out as a family tonight to celebrate. On the 4th I will be with my inlaws celebrating the holiday and my birthday yay My classmates also have something planned for me next week, so im kinda getting 3 birthdays. And I'm not complaining. Well thought I would share with you all my joy! Ciao for now ME

Bacon Cheddar stuffed Burgers and Apple pie

For Father's Day my hubby had to work and he had just worked a double the night before. But with 2hrs sleep he got up on HIS holiday and went to work because that's the type of guy he is. He is a provider for his family and sacrifices a lot so we can have what's needed. Our kids adore him,he is a hands on Dad. Without him I wouldn't be able to go to school to become a RN. I am BLESSED with a man who baths,cooks,feeds,cleans,changes diapers,does homework,takes them to practice,does laundry for his kids. He is a wonderful husband,friend and father to our kids. So the kids and I decided to make him all the food I normally don't because what says I love and appreciate you more than a BURGER LOL My hubby loves gourmet burgers and every once in awhile like every 3months he enjoys one. Seriously I don't think anyone could eat it on a regular basis, its just to much! So I decided to make a Bacon,cheddar stuffed burger with homemade buttermilk onion rings and apple pie (his fav dessert) Here are some pics.If your interested I will be glad to send the recipe :)

I even made a cute design, 1st time I ever made and apple pie


AND The FINAL product! Came out so good, way better than I expected. We then went down to the inlaws to celebrate and had a good time. Thanks to my SIL Randi for cooking the burgers on the grill and helping me get everything ready for the hubs....

My # 1 Graduated

My eldest child just graduated 8th grade. I don't know where time has gone. He is so grown. Now taller than me but I don't want to admit it lol I'm so proud of him for turning into such a good young man. My son is a leader, strong in his opinion, stands up for what's right or those who need help. And he is sweet,kind and gentle when he needs to be. I am happy and nervous for him to start high school, all I keep thinking is where has time gone???? I LOVE my boy and I hope he enjoys this next chapter in his life. He makes his family proud. His graduation almost brought me to tears.He was so handsome in his outfit and it was so special for him to walk the stage with his Grandma on there with him. These are the family moments that create memories. Pretty soon it will be a HS grad then a college, I'm almost afraid to blink!

The Aftermath of the cake. I guess thats a sign it was good lol We had such a great Memorial Day with family.... So nice and relaxing. And later we had a fire and some drinks. Our neighbor so nicely supplied us with tons of wood for our new pit. He has access to it so whenever we need some, he was like ask me. He was having a party and looked over and just gave the wood and some heinekens! SWEET, thanks again neighbor!

Im Back!

 I know its been forever since I have blogged but I'm back! I just finished my hardest semester in my RN program PHEW it was definetly challenging and time consuming. But with the help from my husband, a fabulous babysitter/friend,coffee and my classmates I made it. I see how far I have come and how much more I need to learn. I must say this whole experience is life changing, I feel like this is equivalent to my husbands academy! Really, we train 50% in the hospital and 50% at the school. And nothing could have prepared me for the things I have experienced.I know the classmates that I make this journey with will always be like family to me. We have just 1 more semester left! I'm thrilled and proud of doing this having 3 kids at home. It was a real challenge and I absolutely can't wait for my 4th semester to begin. But for now I will enjoy my kids and family. Here are some pics of moments in my life over the last few months

Me and my bestie

A couple pics with my Inlaws at Knotts Berry farm from this week. We had soooo much fun. I am happy we were all able to go on a roller coaster as a family. I know my kids will look back on this and just be so happy to have these experiences with their grandparents. I think its a shame not all children have grandparents they are close to, especially if they live near. My kids are really BLESSED. SO now that I have posted hopefully family and friends will be updated. I hope to post more often. I miss you my PW and promise to be back as soon as I can! xoxo Me
